Drinking a beer by myself in a cold dark room right now, surrounded by a little wall of beer cans.

Feels good, man.

Not really though. It feels ambivalent. I'm not sure why I do it, but then when I stop, my life gets so much more boring.

Good job switching from one drug to another. Kudos.

[Anonymous No.6262030]

my body kicked my alcoholism for me.

the adverse health effects got too bad: agonizing hangovers that last for days, gastrointestinal distress, crippling fatigue, etc.

alcohol feels pretty darn good, but 30 minutes of pleasure isn't worth days of suffering.

if i even think about drinking vodka, my stomach starts hurting and my bowels stir. i guess that's a pavlovian reaction?

Alcohol withdrawals are worse than any other kind of withdrawal if you are a serious alcoholic. It's also the most commonly fatal kind of detox.

I've had opiate/crack/benzo withdrawals and they don't even compare. It's still pure misery. But ignoring the physical problems, the terror you experience with DT can't compare to anything else. I would much rather die than withdrawal from alcohol again. It's actually the only reason I stopped drinking.

Quit drinking about 6 months ago. I was drinking about a litre of vodka a day. Things are going pretty good.

Literally the only reason I don't think I'm truly an alcoholic...

I drink ~12 drinks each day, but twice a year I take a 3 week break and have yet to experience withdrawal symptoms.

I've felt like "shit, I could use a beer right now," and "this shit is stressing me out, a shot would be nice," but never anything bad. In fact, I feel worse if I go a day w/o coffee (and only drink 1 cup each day) than a month without alcohol.

[Anonymous No.6264297]

I'd be an alcoholic if it weren't for the hangovers I get.

>denial is the only reason why i don't think i'm an alcoholic
sounds about right.

[Anonymous No.6264326]

>>6264313
Then why don't I experience withdrawals? Why don't I feel compelled to drink all the time? I just enjoy being buzzed. I almost never binge, and when I do, I stay away from it for days at a time.

You're fine. Some people can't live without applying neat labels to everything

[Anonymous No.6264376]

>>6264296
You can be an alcoholic and not get withdrawals, but I guess it depends how you define alcoholic. You really have to drink a lot for a long time to know the horror of DT

It sounds more like you are a functioning alcoholic and as long as you don't start drinking way more than that you only have to worry about shortened life expectancy.

I never experienced bad withdrawals until I was a handle a day (1.75 liters) alcoholic. I wish I could be satisfied with 12 drinks a day

[Anonymous No.6264401]

>>6264376
>a handle a day
Yeah, that's a lot. I don't think I'll ever make it to that point, if for no other reason than I have a family and am not already drinking that much.

Here's an idea, when you go to the store. Don't buy alcohol.

Try that and let me know how it works. Also be sure to thank me for the money you're saving.

[Anonymous No.6264941]

>>6264881
Not him, but I don't buy alcohol "in the store."

As in, I don't go to a store and wind up buying alcohol.

There are 3 packies on my way home from work. Inevitably I end up stopping at one to at least buy a pint of liquor.

[Anonymous No.6264951]

i dunno if im an alcoholic really, since an alcoholic to me means day drinking and hard withdrawal and hangovers, but im drinking about 10 beers a night to help me sleep. i no longer have hangovers really. been doing this for about a year. i take a night off every now and then, usually wake up feeling beat up. i can stop, i wont though. i stopped smoking cigs too after college with ease. is this bad?

[Anonymous No.6265015]

>crippling self esteem
I don't feel bad for myself at all.

I don't use it as an escape or a reason to live.

I walk around the city drinking, I go to the beach drinking, and I work (DOP) drinking because it make me more creative.

I probably have more self confidence than your average 4chan user.

I just found out that my girlfriend has a rare genetic mutation that causes her digestive system to go fucking crazy and develop polyps for no reason and may have to have her stomach, some of her small and large intestine and her colon removed.

And I thought things couldn't get worse after I was unexpectedly laid off and my landlord kicked me out because he kept imagining cigarette smoke in the apartment. Fuck me, right? I'm going to drink the largest bottle of tequila I can find and cry myself to sleep.

“He says opening bottles is what makes drunkards,” Bill explained.

“That’s right,” said Nick. He was impressed. He had never thought of that before. He had always thought it was solitary drinking that made drunkards....

Semi-functioning alcoholic here.

Would be functional if I actually had work or friends in the first place, but fuck it. Taking a break when I polish off my vodka, oddly enough I never get withdrawal after about 4 years of daily drinking.
